Craps

Craps is casino dice game where each player rolls a pair of dice. The person rolling the dice is called the shooter. Before the shooter rolls the dice, everybody places their bets. The basic bet in craps is the Pass line bet. The pass line bet when you place your chips on the area marked “pass line”. The pass line is a series of bets meaning that the shooter may have to roll the dice multiple times before you win or lose. The first roll in the pass line bet is called the “Come-out roll”. Here are a few things to know about the “Come-out” roll:

• 7 and 11 are automatic pass line winners and the series ends.
• 2, 3, or 12(craps) are automatic pass line losers and the series ends.
• Any other number that comes up on the dice becomes the shooter’s point and the series continues.

If the shooter rolls a number that gives them a point and forces the series to continue, the object of the game now becomes for the shooter to roll their point again before rolling a 7. There are a few rules that go into this portion of the game as well:

• If the shooter rolls anything other than their point or a 7, nothing happens and they continue rolling.
• If the point is rolled the pass line bets win and the series ends.
• If a 7 is rolled then the pass line bets lose and the series ends.

Snake Eyes

Snake eyes is when a shooter rolls a dice and comes up with a single pip on each die. The pair of pips resembles a pair of eyes which is attributed to the term "snake". Snake eyes is the lowest possible roll you can get in craps and more often than not will result in losing.

Watch how Beau Parker teaches a group of people not to roll snake eyes, but instead how to manipulate the dice to get the ideal roll in craps. Click here to purchase the Players DVD.
